–›EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK OVER CHO-LA PASS
As the trail to Everest Base Camp has become more and more crowded, a need arose to find an alternative route that would be equally spectacular in terms of the mountain experience and the views of the world's tallest peak. The route we have chosen, up to Milk Lake and Gokyo Ri, surpassed the traditional route and our expectations as well.
